We left Pension Castilla at nine am to head up to the pick-up point, to see if we could get on the bus to Granada today. We are booked for Saturday, but I think two days were enough in Toledo. Fortunately, there were a lot of people booked on the bus who didn’t show up, which left plenty of room for the 20-odd of us on stand-by.
The trip to Granada took six hours, including a 45-minute lunch stop. We arrived at Albergue Juvenil Granada under the promise that everyone would have accommodation, only to be told, once again, that this is not the case. Roberta and I were the first in the door and got a twin room. The trip down was hot again and it would have been at least 40 degrees when we arrived, so we stayed in our room and showered and rested until it was cooler before we went out.
We got on the bus into town at eight pm and met up with John (today’s Eurobus driver). He had a map of all the tapas bars in the city, so we stuck with him in search of a feed.
Our first stop was Casa de Pepillo, where we ran into a Tina, from Sydney, who was also travelling via Eurobus. Tina had been at this place the previous two nights and said the food was good, and Pepillo loved having everyone in. We stayed there for a few drinks and were fed all kinds of tapas, before moving on.

In all we went to six bars, drinking and trying local food, before catching a cab home at two am.
